Details

Ignaz Pleyel (1757-1831) was at one time the most famous composer in the world. The popularity of his music eclipsed that of even his teacher Haydn and publishers vied to bring out his latest works as soon as they were finished. Some 2000 separate prints of Pleyel works had appeared by 1800 and his fame extended to every corner of Europe and as far afield as North America. Pleyel's career as a composer spanned less than thirty years with the majority of his works composed in the 1780s. He founded a successful publishing house in Paris in the mid-1790s and later began manufacturing keyboard instruments. With increasing demands on his time from his business concerns Pleyel's productivity as a composer dropped sharply and he ceased composing around 1805. The present work was the first of fifteen quintets composed by Pleyel between the years 1785 and 1789. Pleyel's fascination with the textural clarity and simplicity of Italian music has been noted in connection with his string quartets and the quintets pursue a similar stylistic path. Extended solo passages are given to each member of the ensemble and these are underpinned by the simplest and most transparent of accompaniments. The violins and violas are frequently deployed in pairs which creates interesting possibilities for antiphonal effects along with a denser texture in the middle of the ensemble. The violoncello is generally employed either in its traditional bass-line role or as a solo instrument: it is rarely coupled with another instrument in its extended solos. Pleyel's works tend to be thematically dense rather than motivically dense and in this respect they bear a similar kind of relation to Haydn's works as Schubert's do to those of Beethoven. Although motivic links between thematic ideas do exist from time to time, Pleyel revels in juxtaposing strongly-contrasting melodic ideas and interpolating new themes. Allan Badley

Perfect for College Students!
Color: Grey
I first bought this chair back in August of 2023. I used it nearly everyday for several hours. The chair just broke recently- the metal frame bent on the bottom of the chair (probably due to long term sitting and leaning to one side). This a great chair for college students looking for a more affordable but comfortable chair. The wheels move nice and smooth, the arm rests move up and down, and the back mesh of the chair is supportive, comfortable and breathable. To me, the seat of the chair is slightly bigger than a normal desk chair. It reclined decently far back and had a wide range of height adjustments. I just reordered this chair because I love it so much! I recommend this for anyone looking for a affordable, but comfortable desk chair!

This is the chair! Stop looking! You found it!
Color: Grey
Seriously, it's just a great chair. It's comfy, it works, it's well made and it's a fantastic price. I picked this up after trying a "criss cross" style chair that simply was NOT working for everyday, all day home office work. This chair is great and I love that the arms can go up, which turns it into a great art chair as well! The back support is solid, although it's not cushioned at all so you may find putting a little lumbar pillow will help (it hasn't bothered me but over time the elasticity of the mesh has worn a bit) It was very easy to put together and I've been using it everyday, for 8-10 hours a day for several months now. For price you can't beat it. It's also wide enough of a seat I can sit cross crossed.

Cheap and pretty comfortable, but poor adjustment functions.
Color: Black
Chair is pretty comfortable, wheels are solid and it holds height well. Biggest issue is the lean lock, even when engaged the chair does not hold an upright position, so if you're like me and prefer sitting relatively straight, this chair does not offer much support when doing so. Not bad for the price, but I would generally look elsewhere unless you don't care much for adjustment.

Pretty nice. Good price for a good quality chair.
Color: Black
Nice overall. Decent back support, but not really much going on there. Very sturdy chair and is comfortable. The adjustments are just enough to make it good. I would buy it again. rolls great. Easy to put together. perfect adjustable height. It works for my son who is around 5', my wife who is 5' 3 and also me and I am 5' 10.
